Winter Laments




Winter Laments

Just a sore throat, then a sniffle
Nothing too bad, a distant cloud
Worry? Not I, surely just a piffle
And then I sneeze rather loud!

Nose dripping, like the rain out
Punctuated by a periodic sneeze
A winter cold coming, no doubt
And so annoying! Won’t it ease?

As men do with colds, I am dying
The test says not Covid, hurrah
But I’m shivery, and this is trying
Telling everyone, blah, blah, blah

A healthy mind, but an unhealthy body
I wonder if it will ease with a hot toddy?
